The Living Daylights

CriticsCritics: 66
AudienceAudience: 6.6

A secret agent helps a Russian defector escape after a deadly sniper attack, but growing doubts suggest the mission is more complicated than it first appears. As tensions rise between East and West, he follows a trail involving espionage, arms dealing, shifting loyalties, and a skilled cellist drawn into the danger.

My take

You’ll like this if you prefer a grittier, more grounded spy adventure with strong stunts and less campy humor; Not for you if you want flamboyant villains, nonstop momentum, or Roger Moore-style lightness.
